As first reported by Cowtown Eats last month, Mike Costello, formerly of Brew it Up, will open Yolo Brewing Company early next year. Now, Jennifer Snyder has more details in Sactown Magazine.

But he wants to make it very clear that customers shouldn’t expect a new iteration of Brew it Up, which had a location in Davis prior to opening in downtown Sacramento. “People who come expecting a restaurant with padded booths and a full menu might be a little confused,” he says. “We’re a brewery first.”

What was once a large industrial storage space will become a 3,200 square-foot beer hall and tasting room, complete with small batch kettles for production and guest brewing. “We will have 12 beers on tap to start and will eventually see up to 36 handles occupied by Yolo Brewing Company recipes, other local brews and some hard to find craft beers from around the U.S.,” he explains.

Sactown Magazine also reports that:

1. Yolo Brewing Company will follow the template of many other local breweries and initially partner with food tucks to provide dining options. After the brewery has opened, he'll turn his attention to building out a kitchen operation and menu.

2. The brewery will feature a larger outdoor beer garden.

3. When it's up and running, Costello expects to be able to brew 10,000 to 15,000 barrels per year.
